NBA's first MVP Pettit dies aged 93

Pettit won the award twice, in its first year in 1955-56 and again in 1958-59, when he topped the scoring charts in both seasons.

He was also named an NBA All-Star in all 11 of his seasons and was the first player to reach 20,000 points.

Having starred for Louisiana State University, Pettit was signed by Milwaukee Hawks in the draft in 1954.
